COLOR CORRECTION: Grown-out Bleach and Tone with a Rosé Glow

Platinum hair color is stunning at first, but the grow-out can be painful. Glaring contrast between black and white, unflattering and off-tone fade out—it isn’t for the faint of heart! Enter ClairolCelebrity Color Artist Jennifer J (clients include January Jones, Julia Roberts and Cate Blanchett), and her secret weapon—Clairol Liquicolor Permanente. “Liquid color is so fast,” Jennifer J says. “It goes on quickly and easily, so time spent on correction services is significantly reduced.”

See how Jennifer J uses her secret weapon to extend and blend the root line of this bleach and tone grow-out and then pull it all together with a rosé wash that flatters the client’s skin tone and produces a hip, polished result.

After each stroke applying the regrowth color, use the edge of the brush to blur the lines of demarcation.

Liquid color saves time—you can do a full retouch in as little as 5 minutes! Plus it’s seamless and forgiving.

If necessary, as you work down the head with the retouch, switch to a smaller brush to avoid overlap.

Omit the hairline until the end of the retouch to avoid over-depositing and a too-dark result. Use just the tip of the brush on this area to ensure you’re only coloring the root. Feather the color in with a light stroke and be careful not to overload the brush with product.

In the back, extend the base color a little lower than the sides, because natural haircolor is darker in the back.

Clairol Liquicolor will appear quite black as it begins to oxidize so don’t panic! If you’ve used the correct formulas, it will develop as planned.
